In order to get a building permit, you must complete the provided application along with any other forms that have been provided to you. You need to also provide the Township, in duplicate, a complete set of construction drawings including a site plan. Other approvals may be required from agencies such as Grand River Conservation Authority, Upper Thames River Conservation Authority, Oxford County Board of Health, etc. Page 1 of 3

2 Explanation of required drawings Site plan A site plan is a drawing showing the complete property and identifying all structures in relation to the property boundaries and each other. A property survey is a common template for developing a site plan. The site plan should include: Title and scale North Arrow Street locations and names Lot lines and dimensions to all buildings Existing and proposed buildings including their areas Proposed changes to existing grade if any Rights-of-ways and easements Access and parking Hydro Service to property, if applicable Floor plans A floor plan is a drawing of the building showing each floor including basement and crawlspaces from above. Floor plans should include: Title and scale Use of rooms and spaces (labels) Dimensions The extent of new proposed construction, including construction in existing structures Sizes of all door and window openings Cross-section locations and directions Material specifications and notes Locations of all smoke and carbon monoxide detectors All required fire separations All floor joist, roof rafter, lintels and beams sizes, dimensions and direction of span Elevations Elevations show the exterior of the building from all sides. Each elevation is to be labeled by the direction it is facing, and shall include: Title and scale Extent of new and proposed construction Exterior wall finishes, cladding and flashing Dimensioned finished floor levels Grade level Overall height of structure and roof slopes Page 2 of 3

3 Cross-section A cross-section represents a view of a building along an imaginary line cut through the building in correspondence with the section line drawn on the floor plan. A cross-section illustrates all elements within the walls being cut through and should include: Title and scale Details of footings, foundation walls, exterior wall construction including air barrier, floor and roof framing details Size and type of materials and finishes Dimensioned finished floor levels Grade level Attic and crawlspace ventilation Additional drawings and notes Additional information may be required upon submission for a building permit. For new structures or additions, HVAC drawings and calculations will be necessary for buildings required to be heated. Buildings with engineered floor joist or roof trusses will need to submit engineered designs with an engineer seal on them. MDS 1 and/or 2 may be required, dimensions to be confirmed by OLS, if required by Chief Building Official. For drawing formats the Township accepts architectural and structural drawings to be drawn in either imperial or metric measurement. All drawings must conform to the Ontario Building Code, the Township of Blandford-Blenheim by-laws and any other applicable law.

7 Guide to the Energy Efficiency Design Summary Form The Energy Efficiency Design Summary form summarizes the compliance path used by a house designer to comply with energy efficiency requirements of the Ontario Building Code. This form must accompany the building permit application. The information on this form MUST reflect the drawings and specifications being submitted, or the building permit may be refused. Refer to Supplementary Standard SB-12 for details about building code compliance requirements. Further information about energy efficiency requirements for new buildings is available from the provincial building code website at or the municipal building department. Beginning January 1, 2012, a house designer must use one of four energy efficiency compliance options in the building code: 1. Comply with the SB-12 Prescriptive design tables, 2. Use the SB-12 Performance compliance method, and model the design against the prescriptive standards, 3. Design to Energy Star standards, or 4. Evaluate the design according to EnerGuide technical procedures and achieve a rating of 80 or more. COMPLETING THE FORM B. Compliance Options Indicate the compliance option being used. SB-12 Prescriptive requires that the building conforms to a package of thermal insulation, window and mechanical system efficiency requirements set out in Subsection of SB-12. Energy efficiency design modeling and testing of the building is not required under this option. SB-12 Performance refers to the alternative method of compliance set out in Subsection of SB-12. Using this approach the designer must use recognized energy simulation software (such as HOT2000 V9.34c1.2 or newer), and submit documents which show that the annual energy use of the building is equal to a prescriptive package. Energy Star houses must be designed to Energy Star requirements and be labelled on completion by Enerquality or other agency. The Energy Star BOP form must be submitted with the permit documents. EnerGuide80 houses are validated by NRCan authorized energy advisors and must achieve a rating of 80 or more when evaluated in accordance with EnerGuide administrative and technical procedures. C. Project Design Conditions Climatic Zone: The number of degree days for Ontario cities is contained in Supplementary Standard SB-1 Windows, Skylights and Glass Doors: If the ratio of the total gross area of windows, sidelights, skylights and glass doors to the total gross area of walls is more than 17%, higher efficiency glazing is required. If the ratio is more than 22% the SB-12 Prescriptive option may not be used. The total area is the sum of all the structural rough openings. Some exceptions apply. Refer to of SB-12 for further details. Fuel Source and Heating Equipment Efficiency: The fuel source and efficiency of the proposed heating equipment must be specified in order to determine which SB-12 Prescriptive compliance package table applies. Other Building Conditions: These construction conditions affect SB-12 Prescriptive compliance requirements. D. Building Specifications Thermal Insulation: Indicate the RSI or R-value being proposed where they apply to the house design. Under the SB-12 Prescriptive option, RSI 3.52 wall insulation is permitted in certain conditions where other design elements meet higher standards. Refer to SB-12 for further details. E. Performance Design Summary This section is not required to be completed if the SB-12 Prescriptive option is being used. BUILDING CODE REQUIREMENTS FOR AIRTIGHTNESS IN NEW HOUSES All houses must comply with increased air barrier requirements in the building code. Notice of air barrier completion must be provided and an inspection conducted prior to it being covered. The building code requires that a blower door test be conducted to verify the air tightness of the house during construction if the SB-12 Performance option is used and an air tightness of less than Pa in the case of detached houses, or Pa in the case of attached houses is necessary to meet the required energy efficiency standard. A blower door test must also be conducted if the EnerGuide 80 option is used. ENERGY EFFICIENCY LABELING FOR NEW HOUSES Energy Star and EnerGuide issue labels for new homes constructed under their energy efficiency programs. The building code does not regulate new home labelling.
